Khulna Tigers will cross swords against Sylhet Strikers in the 39th match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on Wednesday at Shere Bangla Stadium. 

Khulna Tigers have had a disastrous BPL season this year, with a disappointing record of only two victories out of ten matches played. Their lacklustre performance has resulted in them being placed at a lowly sixth position in the league standings, with a mere four points to their credit. 

Their chances of making it to the playoffs have already been dashed, and they find themselves out of contention. Heading into this game, they will aim to salvage some pride and finish the season on a high. 

On the other hand, Sylhet Strikers have had a successful campaign in the ongoing tournament, winning eight matches out of the 11 they have played so far, with only three losses. 

Their stellar performance has earned them a place at the top of the standings with 16 points in their account. They have already sealed a place in the playoffs and would look to extend their winning run.

Both teams will put their best foot forward and give their all to come out on top and secure a victory. The match promises to be a cracking one, as we will witness some of the best T20 stars showcase their skills on the field.
